DJ Sweet 0.9.7 - Flash Player, Media Player and More for SWT
DJ Sweet provides a sophisticated component suite for SWT.
The main focus is the improvement of the Web Browser control, and the addition of a Flash Player with a simple API. Nevertheless, it also offers other useful components like a multimedia player (based on VLC), an HTML editor (using FCKeditor or TinyMCE) and a Syntax Highlighter.

This release is the initial release, which is the result of user requests asking for a port of the DJ Native Swing project API to SWT.

The Webstart demo is configured to work on Windows. It also works on Linux (GTK, x86/i386) where XULRunner is installed. Note that this demo is part of the release distribution.

Nice to see people adding power to SWT.
Is it cross platform? The demo didn't work very well on my Mac.

Hi Zviki,
It is supposed to be cross platform, but I can only test on Windows and Linux as I do not have a Mac.
Nevertheless, do not hesitate to contact me by e-mail if you want to give more details about the problems you found so that I can try to fix them.
Cheers,

Nice work Chris. Nodoubt this work is a great work.
Hi Guys, I'd like anybody with experience with flash and how its being loaded in browser to help out here. Flash movies (.swf files) can load fine in Internet explorer but can't load in JWebBrowser. I strongly suspect a problem with the SWT, however, it kind of hard to debug... any hint on way forward will be appreciated.
How does SWT treat plugins, I'd expect IE to render the movie and just hand the resulting component to SWT, however, its seems SWT needs to be intelligent enof to know how and where to load flash movies.
